A weekly roundup connects summer food experiences with Los Angeles restaurant and lifestyle news. Warm New York weather and first-season oysters at Bar Susanne are paired with a standout fish-shaped strawberry tart. Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is noted for having two dishes named after him at Don Antonio’s, where he remains a regular. Erewhon’s reserve membership offers early smoothie preparation for high spenders. The roundup also covers PFAS-related concerns, AI failing home cooks, and the remembrance of Slow Food pioneer Carlo Petrini. Michelin’s Green Stars, introduced in 2020 to recognize sustainability, are being retired after six years.
"Los Angeles mayoral candidate, former reality TV star, and famously bad budgeter Spencer Pratt-you may remember him from The Hills?-has not one but two dishes named after him at Don Antonio's, a restaurant on the west side of LA. It's where a few important moments from the show took place, and according to this excellent piece in Vanity Fair, Pratt is still a regular all these years later."
